Whether he knows it or not Stancil views Marxism vs Liberalism as an epistemological split between metaphysical idealism and materialism as competing descriptors of reality. He can’t really seem to grasp the concept of human beings using lenses of analysis to describe and navigate history/politics

my rational centrist compromise is that weed shouldn't be illegal but you should have to talk to someone's gross older brother about continental philosophy for 15 minutes to buy it

for someone who wants to live a long time you could argue they ought to want to live more than they want to do anything else but a better strategy probably would be to want to control their environment very well. and continually minimize the probability of any threat.

MBTI and Enneagram, Big 5 etc. are all designed to obfuscate real psychoanalytic theory. I seriously doubt that there is some intentionality to it other than monetization but when robots begin to program us (therapy) they will be unable to resist feeding data like that off to some analytics hub

One day you will wake up and there will be no such thing as the internet, or cars, or soul crushing Mon-Fri 9-5s, and you will breathe in deeply, you will feel empathy, you will laugh and laugh into a dark hole until you feel nothing and know nothing and rejoice in your own annihilation
